As of this AM: 42 uncontained large fires are burning across the NW, fanned by extremely dangerous fire weather conditions. Both central OR & northeastern WA now see at least three more weeks of fire weather days each year compared to 1970s. #wildfires #firewx #climatechange @climatecentral.org

Thanks to @sammyroth.bsky.social and LACI for inviting me to the #RoadTo2028 Summit! It was so inspiring to hear my fellow panelists (and Olympians!) Bea Kim and Melissa Humaña-Paredes speak about how climate change is impacting sports and what can be done ahead of #LA28. @climatecentral.org
Dangerous levels of #humidheat are forecast in parts of the #Midwest tomorrow, with some cities expected to see conditions made 100x more likely due to human-caused #climatechange. Humid heat makes it harder for our bodies to cool down via sweating. bit.ly/4eWt4UO #climateshiftindex
Climate change is making fire weather across the Western U.S. more likely. Western UT ( #CherryFire and #IronFire ) now sees 40 more fire weather days annually compared to the early 70s. South central UT ( #CottonwoodFire ), now sees 15 more fire weather days annually. For more: bit.ly/4xRPhf1
June 26, 2026: A day climate change made itself known across Europe by land, air, and sea. How did human-caused carbon pollution influence the likelihood of these conditions? It made them ~much~ more likely. Learn more via the Climate Shift Index: csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shift-index
Fifty years ago, many people did not know carbon pollution was changing our climate. Where will we be in fifty more years? We're writing that story right now. What kind of world do we want to live in and leave behind for future generations? #ShowYourStripes
🌡️Heat is dangerous. Add humidity, and it can become deadly. A new tool from #ClimateCentral, Climate Shift Index: Humid Heat, tracks the influence of climate change on daily humid heat conditions and related health risks around the world. ➡️Explore the tool: csi.climatecentral.org/humid-heat
Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
The Billion Dollar Weather and Climate Disaster dataset is back and now at @climatecentral.org! Through the first half of 2025, there were 14 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters across the United States, costing $101.4 billion. 1/2 www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...
